Always love it when a Fifty Seven arrives. Currently, only Delta, Fed Ex and UPS bring 757s here but there is a possiblity that another pax carrier will begin using 757s here soon.

Great shot of the third pilot/flight engineer position. "Flying Sideways". FE was a "peach" of an assignment for an enlisted man.

This is a stretched version, CV-5800, 16 feet or so longer than the -580. According to Wikipedia, six frames were converted from ex-military Convairs.

Chris, I'm interested in featuring your photo on the cover page of an aviation safety bulletin that I am writing. Please contact me at alex@atmesafety.com for more details. Thank you.

He's got lots of right rubber stomped in to offset the p-factor.

If you take a close look at the "Operated by SkyWest" titles you can see it is painted over another title. This is where the "Operated by Express Jet" titles went. This was one of the last of around 20 ERJ-175-200LL to be delivered to Express Jet in 2019-early 2020. Sadly due to the pandemic United Airlines decided to terminate their contract with Express Jet which caused the airline to ceases operation in September 2020. All the former ExpressJet E175 were transferred to SkyWest. Fun fact is these SkyWest E175 are currently the only E175 in the new Evo Blue Paint Scheme for United Airlines.

This must have been the Heritage Flight on Sunday 18APR21. As in the previous comment maybe it was during the week.

I was at Sun'n'Fun KLAL, took lots of photos. I posted a photo of the Heritage Flight taken Saturday 17APR21. The A-10 Warthog in this photo was not the one at KLAL over the weekend, the one in my photo was grey. Did a different A-10 fly during the week?

VP-FBB is registered to the British Antarctic Survey so maybe is or was based on the Falkland Islands.

VP-F** registrations are for the Falkland Islands. Anyone know why this one is registered there?

Unless of course, FA is accessing the GPS data in the photo to select the nearest 'airport'. I was standing closer to the Rockhampton Hospital than to the Rockhampton Airport, but that 737 certainly didn't take off from the Hospital Helipad.

It seems we have a problem with the airport codes in FA. I've entered and saved YBRK numerous times only for it to revert to YXRK. Got a database glitch?

If any FA viewer knows YN2 Voce and knows how to contact her, have her send an e/m to OldeCarl@gmail.com and I will send several photos of this Growler with her name easily readable on it to her.

CONGRATULATIONS GARY!! Hope it fits your dreams and location preferences. You've been a principle IMO here at FA for a long time and if your postings disappear, it will be a sad day for FlightAware. Godspeed Gary Schenauer

Couldn't help but notice the props are all dressed and squared away to the 10, 2 and 6 o'clock position. Crew chiefs that took the time to do this had a lot of pride in the appearance of their aircraft, especially on the flight line.

I snapped her at Wynyard the same day as well. Was operating a tourist charter. Melbourne - Finders Island - Wynyard - King Island - Melbourne.

Wrong, I remember going in 92 or 93 when I was in the Civil Air Patrol while in high school. To help with the crowds. It was after the 1st gulf war (Desert Strom/Desert Shield). They had them in late October or early November. Because we stop going to the Air Force airshows down at the Homestead Air Force Base because of hurricane Andrew. The Air Force would do an airshow around April. We'd have 2 airshows in the Miami area. And my dad would take me to both of them. His love of aviation started in the Marines island hoping in the Pacific. Then to Miami in the mid 50's. Then Eastern Airlines in the Mid 70's. Which it transferred to me to follow in the same footsteps.

The impression the H-53 is so close to the tail of the 130 is an optical illusion. The helicopter is on the far side of the plane. The drogue is deployed from the right side wing-tank and the probe on the 53 is Left of the centerline. In no way diminishing the flying skills these folks are demonstrating, what you are seeing is not quite as hairy as it may appear. I also suspect the picture was taken with a long lens which further foreshortens the perspective. Remember that is one monster big helicopter and it is on the far side of the Herc.

Good luck Gary. I have been employed in aviation for 40+ years and its always been more like a daily dose of adventure than a job :)

Howdy, Dave. TY for the *. Will post the CAG's "Vader" bird. And "Guess what?" I was offered a job yesterday. For a well known aviation company. But one huge problem. I MUST agree to be paid. I told them I don't accept pay for my photos and they said then I don't get the job. PERIOD. NO IFS, ANDS, or BUTS. And their offer is, ah, well, let's just say, I made 'em repeat it just to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. Dave, I always said I'm an amateur who does not and will not accept $ for my photos, but GEEEESH!! This isn't chicken feed they're offering. And it's not just the pay. I've always felt super fortunate to have the access to the numerous airports and air bases that I have around here. I have 'contacts' up the Wazzoo. But if I take this, I'll have 20-25 times as much access ... and more "contacts" ... across the country. I've got a short window of time to consider and either go Yea or Nay. But no matter which way I go, I am 1000% certain I owe my Thanks for this dazzling opportunity to a couple of super excellent guys at FlightAware who supported me, taught me, and encouraged me way back a dozen years ago when I first joined and submitted my first photos. And I also owe an equal amount of gratitude to the many friends I've made here (FAR too many to individually name at this moment) who have been my ultra-most-loyal viewers, encouragers, and followers. Without FA, and without the awesome friends I've made here, this would NOT have happened. So, those of you who have e/mail connections with me will hear more, but for the many, many of you who I can only talk to via this Comment, I simply cannot express how very, very appreciative I am to have such fabulous friends. Four years ago, when I was invited to be a photographer on the RNO ramp with the international media when AF One arrived, I believed there would never again be anything as wonderful for me as that momentous opportunity. But I never saw THIS coming. And here's the BEST part. Before I discovered FA, I was all hell-bent on getting my pics into JP. The snobs at JP rejected my submissions - 50 of them - without once ever offering any truly sincere suggestion(s) on what I needed to do to make my photos acceptable to their panel of professionally superior photographers. So I joined FA. And, as I stated above, I was supported, encouraged, and taught by the FA person who was a screener back then. As it turns out, if my pics had been accepted by JP, I'd never have joined FA ... and I'd never have gotten this chance.

With the sun rising earlier and the daytime temps going higher every day, the heat coming up from the open airport grounds makes getting undistorted long-range shots somewhat more difficult. So I just move closer.

5* Gary and looking forward to seeing the CAG bird.

Had the pleasure of examining one of these up close at an airshow. Stood underneath in a very slight rain. This was years ago. Not likely to get a chance like that these days.
